Chicken and the egg debate ends here

Everyone must have indulged in this debate at least once which ended in the dilemma stating "which came first - chicken or the egg?"

Yes, the egg came first.

In nature, living things evolve through changes in their DNA. Chickens, as a species, became chickens through a long, slow process of evolution. At some point, a chicken-like bird produced an offspring that, due to some mutation in its DNA, crossed the threshold from mere chicken likeness into chicken actuality. That is to say, a proto-chicken gave birth to a real-life official chicken. And since that real-life official chicken came out of its own egg, we can say that the egg came first.

Another way to look at the question would be to ask which came first in evolutionary history. Once again, the egg takes precedence. Many characteristics of the modern avian egg - namely an oblong, asymmetrical shape and a hardened shell - were in place before birds diverged from dinosaurs about 150 million years ago.

Chickens evolved from non-chickens through small changes caused by the mixing of male and female DNA or by mutations to the DNA that produced the zygote. These changes and mutations only have an effect at the point where a new zygote is created. That is, two non-chickens mated and the DNA in their new zygote contained the mutation(s) that produced the first true chicken. That one zygote cell divided to produce the first true chicken.

Prior to that first true chicken zygote, there were only non-chickens. The zygote cell is the only place where DNA mutations could produce a new animal, and the zygote cell is housed in the chicken's egg. So, the egg must have come first.

PARAM Kanchenjunga, the fastest Supercomputer of North East India, housed at the National Institute of Technology Sikkim’s campus Ravangla, South Sikkim was formally unveiled by Sikkim Governor Shrinivas Patil at the NIT Sikkim campus, near Gangtok on 15th April 2016. The NIT Sikkim's supercomputer, ‘PARAM Kanchenjunga’ is a collaboration between Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C—DAC) Pune and the Ministry of Communications and IT.

What is a supercomputer ?

A supercomputer is a computer with a high-level computational capacity compared to a general-purpose computer. The performance of a supercomputer is measured in floating-point operations per second (FLOPS) instead of million instructions per second (MIPS).

Points to know about NIT Sikkim's supercomputer, The PARAM Kanchenjunga.

The NIT Sikkim's supercomputer is named 'Param Kanchenjunga' because the word 'Param' means 'Supreme' comes from Sanskrit language and Kanchenjunga, as many of you would know, is the third highest mountain in the world located in Sikkim.

The PARAM Kanchenjunga supercomputer is equipped with the latest Intel-based processor and accelerator technologies with a peak computing power of 15 Teraflops which will give a major boost to research at all levels.

The PARAM Kanchenjunga supercomputer not only shares the distinct privilege of being the fastest supercomputer in the North East region, but it would also be the fastest supercomputer among all the 31 NITs.

The entire system cost to establish the PARAM Kanchenjunga supercomputer exceeds over Rs. 2 crore while the related infrastructure to house it including electrical and air-conditioning has cost the NIT Sikkim Rs 50 lakh.

Using the PARAM Kanchenjunga supercomputer , two faculty members of NIT Sikkim are already studying how to increase the efficiency of fuel movement through long oil pipelines such as from the Middle East to India.

Another project deals with the measurement of ocean surface temperature for weather forecasting through simulation.

Besides, a few student projects have also started running on the new supercomputer like an app for instant information system regarding road condition for the tourists.

Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology, Pune, houses the fastest supercomputer of India with the theoretical peak of 790.7 teraflops, called Aaditya, which is used for climate research and operational forecasting.

Tianhe-2 or TH-2 established by china is the world's fastest supercomputer with peak computing power of 33.86 petaflops while the second fastest supercomputer TITAN is housed at the U.S. Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory, which achieved 17.59 petaflops.

Yellow is a color which was especially formulated for use on school buses in North America in 1939. The color is now officially known in Canada and the U.S. as National School Bus Glossy Yellow and was originally called National School Bus Chrome. The pigment used for this color was, for a long time, the lead-containing chrome yellow.

The color was chosen because it attracts attention and is noticed quickly in peripheral vision, faster than any other color. Scientists describe this as follows: "Lateral peripheral vision for detecting yellows is 1.24 times greater than for red."

Some facts about yellow cars, trucks and other moving vehicles:

If there’s fog or any kind of bad weather, drivers will still be able to see yellow cars and any moving vehicle fairly well.

Not only are school buses yellow, but also many earth-moving, road-building and other outdoor machines are yellow because you could get hurt if you accidentally run into one of them. Many accidents occur in farms and outdoors because the victim saw the moving object too late. If it’s yellow, you have a strong warning!

Milk contains tiny globules of fat and casein which are not dissolved but suspended in water. On heating milk, there occurs a separation between fat and the water, fat being lighter than water floats as a cream leaving water below the fat (creamy layer). As the milk start boiling water turns into vapor in the form of steam bubbles, but is trapped under the fatty layer (milk cream). Further heating results in the formation of more bubbles and these bubbles expand and lift the creamy layer causing it to overflow.

In the case of water, the steam bubbles break as they reach the surface and vapor freely evaporates.

Many of you might not have ever wondered why the God or the creator have placed the testicles or the scrotum outside of the male's body, instead of keeping it inside. In fact, I too being a boy had never thought of it, but today when I googled "why a man should wear a boxer?" and read an article, I was amazed to know the scientific reason behind the fact, why the testicles are outside the male body which I would like to share with you here today.

The testicles (also called testes or gonads) are the male sex glands. They are located behind the penis in a pouch of skin called the scrotum. The testicles produce sperm and testosterone. The testicles are located outside the body because sperm develops best at a temperature several degrees cooler than normal internal body temperature

Why should a man prefer a boxer over a brief?

The study shows that for about one-half of couples with fertility problems, sperm count is the cause. But maybe something as simple as changing the kind of underwear a man wears can make a difference.

As I said earlier, the temperature of the testes is at issue: In order for testes to produce sufficient quality and quantity of sperm, the temperature of testes must be lower than the core body temperature.

Testes can overheat when a man wears brief underwear. If the testes are too hot -- several degrees above where they should be -- they are not able to produce sufficient sperm, resulting in low sperm count.

According to a recent study, men who wore boxer shorts during the day and nothing to bed had significantly lower levels of damaged DNA in their sperm compared to those who wore tight underpants during the day and at night.
